About Figure Eight Island NC

Figure Eight Island is an exclusive, private island community separated by the Intracoastal Waterway off the coast of Wilmington, North Carolina and just to the north of Wrightsville Beach and Mason’s inlet. This 1,300-acre island is five miles of white sand, blue water and every amenity and activity one could ask for.

With the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and the mighty Atlantic to the east it’s safe to say the water plays a central role in island life. Spend the day fishing the currents of the Gulf Stream or taking in the tranquil surroundings in your kayak. Perhaps a tennis match at the club or a leisurely stroll beside the water is more your style. In any case, this island is a paradise on the eastern shore.

Figure Eight Island real estate is some of the most exceptional and sought after in the region. The community maintains 440 homes along with some perfect waterfront homesites for your dream home to come. But, it’s what the Island lacks that might be its most valuable asset. You won’t find tourists, traffic or shopping on Figure Eight, just world class real estate, relaxed residents and resort-like surroundings.
